EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey, Dec. 10 (Ticker) -- Allen Iverson put the Philadelphia 76ers on his slender shoulders and had the New Jersey Nets on their heels - or worse.

Iverson was unstoppable with 42 points and 12 assists as the 76ers ended a six-game road losing streak with a 107-95 victory over the Nets that changed the top of the wide-open Atlantic Division.

Kyle Korver scored 25 points on 10-of-11 shooting for the Sixers (10-11), who inched percentage points past the Nets (9-10) into the top spot in the division with their first win here since March 16, 2003.

"When Allen's going that way and Kyle's going that way, we are a tough team to beat when those two guys are shooting like that," Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said. "You can't help out off Allen and you certainly can't help off Kyle."

Coming off a 43-point performance in Friday's win vs. Charlotte, Iverson was even better in this one. The four-time scoring champion made 15-of-28 shots - many of them jumpers - and 8-of-13 free throws while also keeping the Nets off balance with his playmaking.

"Allen Iverson made some tough shots," Nets guard Jason Kidd said. "They were pretty much all contested. And he found the open guy. He did everything he was supposed to do."

In the second quarter, Iverson used a series of jab steps and a crossover dribble to free himself for a 20-footer from Jacque Vaughn, who was faked so badly he fell backward onto his rear end. Iverson should have been credited an assist on the play, as he accidentally stepped on Vaugn's foot which aided in his fall.

In the third period, he split a pair of defenders and threw in a high-arcing floater over Clifford Robinson to push the advantage to 71-60.

"Some of the shots he made, they were playing good defense," Cheeks said. "He just made some unbelievable shots."

Iverson hit consecutive jumpers early in the fourth quarter, then worked a give-and-go with Chris Webber for a jumper that made it 96-80 with 7:45 remaining.

The Nets closed to 100-92 with 4:08 left on two free throws by Richard Jefferson, who had 26 points and 11 rebounds. After a series of empty possessions, Iverson threw a behind-the-back pass to set up Korver for a 3-pointer that rebuilt the lead to double digits at the 2:16 mark.

"He really is in a perfect system for himself," Jefferson said. "When you have a dominant player like Allen Iverson who is just non-stop and everyone is just trying to key on him and chase him down, Kyle Korver just runs up and knocks it down."

"We were trying to remember the one shot that Kyle missed," Cheeks said. "I think he shot just one airball (in the first quarter)."

It was the 65th career 40-point game and sixth this season for Iverson, who played all but the last 35 seconds as he victimized the Nets for the fourth time. The Sixers are 44-21 all-time and 3-3 this season when Iverson reaches 40.

Webber had 13 points and nine rebounds and Samuel Dalembert added 12 and eight for the Sixers, who shot 57 percent (41-of-72), including 9-of-15 from the arc. They won on the road for the first time since November 16 at Toronto.

"It was their whole team," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "They shot nearly 60 percent for the whole game."

Vince Carter scored 26 points and Jason Kidd added 14 and nine for the Nets, who had won their last two games.

Iverson had 24 points and seven assists in the first half, helping Philadelphia to a 54-49 lead. In the first quarter, he got Korver going as the sharpshooter scored 13 points.
